Morse code was hidden through out the Red Alert Manual. This Morse code depicted battles against giant ants. The Counterstrike manual also contains Morse code, this Morse code however were commands to the user.

Counterstrike keeping the tradition from The Covert Operations contained a secret campaign. Unlike funpark from Covert Ops it did not require a start up parameter, but a key combination.
